On October 28th, 2011, Andrew Somora lost his courageous battle against colon cancer. The Andrew J. Somora Foundation was established in December 2011. Our mission is to provide financial assistance to persons in financial need who are battling colon cancer, as well as their family members, who are receiving treatment in the Kansas City area. Financial need will be determined in conjunction with assistance from social workers, physicians,

and hospital representatives, who will administer the funds donated and provide regular accounting to the AJS Foundation to document the use of those funds. The AJS Foundation will also spread awareness of the causes of colon cancer and of the preventative and screening measures that can be taken to prevent the disease and/or diagnose it at an early stage.Visit us at: www.AndrewJSomoraFoundation.com
